Windows 10: Slow Wifi on Windows 10 Laptop

I was trying to set up a Skype call on my laptop which I will admit does not get used often but Skype told me that my wifi connection was not fast enough. So I started to investigate, I checked the speed using my phone & I was getting 100mbps without any issues however using the same app from the windows store I was only getting about 10mbps. Checked to see if any windows updates were required & also if there were also any driver updates too. Then I checked the web for any potential solutions & most of the fixes involved actions you cannot perform any more on windows. So I'm no further forward & I just don't see any reason why a decent laptop should be so sluggish essentially from what I can see because of Windows 10. So ideally answers & solutions would be co-operative

Wifi very slow on laptop, but ok on other devices - Windows 10

Hi Annu

I've had the same problem as Panayiotis1984. Upgraded to Windows 10 on my Lenovo from windows 8.1 - now the wifi is painfully slow. The wifi still works fine on my other devices (smartphone etc).

I tried the steps that you suggested but they did not bring an improvement.

Any other suggestions?

Wifi Very Slow

Hi,

The following are some reasons that may cause of the slow WiFi connection.

• Corrupted or incompatible drivers.
• Missing updates.
• Network connection settings.
• Hardware or software problems.
• Inappropriate distance from the router or obstruction.
• Interference with other devices.

To isolate the concern, have you checked if the issue persists with other devices? For now, we suggest that you follow the troubleshooting steps provided in this
